Artoria was also surprised when she heard Chen Xuan reveal the other identity of Excalibur.
After all, even she, the wielder of the Holy Sword, only learned of the origin of the Excalibur Star Sword by chance from the Lake Fairy.
"I just happened to know."
After confirming that the Excalibur in his hand was the one he wanted, Chen Xuan temporarily returned it to Artoria. After all, it was a creation of the planet, and even Chen Xuan in his current state could not study it thoroughly all at once.
"Master, my Noble Phantasm isn't as magnificent as Saber's holy sword, the sword of King Arthur. Please don't be offended if you don't like it."
As Medea spoke, she handed the Myriad Talismans Breaking Ring to Chen Xuan, but her tone clearly indicated that she was somewhat displeased.
After all, it is her Noble Phantasm. Although it is the ultimate anti-magic weapon, it is very simple. Compared with Excalibur in Artoria's hand, it is just a cheap knock-off.
"No, no, rather I've been looking forward to your Noble Phantasm for a long time."
Chen Xuan accepted the Ring of Ten Thousand Talismans and said with a smile.
Chapter Fifty-Nine: The True Method of Killing Gods
"Oh, I've been waiting for this for a long time. It seems you already knew about the effects of my Noble Phantasm, Master."
Medea asked in confusion after hearing what Chen Xuan said.
"More or less. I found out by chance, and coincidentally, I needed items and spells that could counter magic as research subjects, so I simply summoned you."
Chen Xuan nodded.
"We desperately need magic-resistant items. Master, do you have a curse or barrier that needs to be broken?"
Medea asked again, because although anti-magic attack items sound powerful, few people use them normally. This is because they can easily undo one's own magic, making them a double-edged sword. They are mostly used to break complex barriers or curses, which are tricky spells.
However, for a powerful magician like Chen Xuan, there should be very few barriers and curses that even he cannot break. It can be said that there should be virtually no occasion where he would need to use anti-magic items. But judging from Chen Xuan's enthusiastic appearance, it seems that he is not faking it, which makes Medea unable to guess what Chen Xuan is thinking for a while.
However, before Medea could think much about it, Chen Xuan gave her the answer.
"No, modern barriers and curses are like fragile toys to me; I can break them with a wave of my hand."
As Chen Xuan spoke, she infused her magic into the Ring of Ten Thousand Talismans, but because the Ring of Ten Thousand Talismans had a built-in magic-resistant effect, the magic Chen Xuan infused into it was eliminated as soon as it entered.
"My reason for pursuing magic-specific attack items is simple: to create spells that can strip gods of their power and divinity, or you could say it's for the true meaning of god-slaying."
"Kill God?!!!!"
The four people present were all taken aback upon hearing Chen Xuan's words.
"Master, are you serious?"
Medea looked at Chen Xuan and said in an incredulous tone.
After all, as a witch living in the age of gods, and having studied under the goddess Hecate, Medea was arguably the one who understood the gods best among all those present. It was precisely because she understood the gods so well that Medea knew how terrifying they were. Even though she was one of the most powerful witches of the age of gods, she would only suffer defeat when facing her master, the goddess Hecate, and a crushing one at that.
That's why Medea was shocked when Chen Xuan said she wanted to create a god-slaying technique. After all, in the Age of Gods, it was still possible to kill a god with a human body, but now the Age of Gods has declined. Where did Chen Xuan get her confidence? Not to mention, a god-slaying technique is something that even she, a witch from the Age of Gods, couldn't create.
"It's not a matter of being serious or not, but that I've already been doing it. Not long ago, I killed the clone of the One Demon God, and this is the spoils I obtained at that time."
Chen Xuan glanced at Medea and then spoke calmly, while dark hellfire appeared in her other free hand.
"They killed the avatar of the unified demon god?!?"
Chen Xuan's words surprised everyone present once again.
"I never imagined that you, Master, were such a powerful hero. Please accept my highest respect."
Upon hearing that Chen Xuan had killed a demon god with a mortal body, Artoria immediately performed a gesture of respect. After all, Artoria was not only the King of Britannia but also a knight, and she held a deep affection and respect for powerful warriors.
"Teacher Chen Xuan is amazing, she was actually able to kill the demon god."
Sakura Tohsaka looked at Chen Xuan with stars in her eyes.
"It's truly astonishing, Master. To be able to kill a god with a human body and even gain his power is a feat that would make you a great hero, even in the Age of Gods, an era teeming with heroes."
Medea looked at the hellfire in Chen Xuan's hand and felt the unique divine power emanating from it. The doubt and disbelief that had been in her heart were dispelled.
After all, as a disciple of a god, he knew that divine power could never be mastered by mortals unless it was bestowed by the god or stripped away through special means after the god was killed.
The fact that Chen Xuan was able to control this power is enough to prove that she truly killed a god. As for the evil fluctuations emanating from the power in Chen Xuan's hands, it can be seen that it belongs to the power of a demon god. Such an evil god would never bestow power upon mortals.
"It was just killing a clone of the demon god, nothing remarkable. What I want is to kill it for real."
Chen Xuan shook her head, not becoming complacent despite the praise from the crowd.
However, although he said that, the others had a different feeling about it.
"????"
The people present were all confused when they heard Chen Xuan's words, and at the same time, they thought to themselves, "What the hell?"
"Dude, you've already killed a demon god, and you're saying it's nothing special? We couldn't even kill one!"
"Since Master wants to create a god-slaying formula, then Master should summon Servants with god-slaying legends. Summoning me shouldn't be of much help to you."
Medea looked at Chen Xuan and asked again.
"No, you, or rather, the anti-magic power inherent in your Noble Phantasm, is far more helpful to me than those Servants with legends of slaying gods."
Chen Xuan shook her head, denying Medea's statement, and continued speaking.
"Those heroes with legends of killing gods, although their Noble Phantasms all have god-killing attributes to some extent, they can only kill the physical bodies of gods, not the gods themselves."
"Master Chen Xuan, what truly constitutes killing a god? Isn't the destruction of a god's physical body considered death?"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Rin Tohsaka asked in confusion.
"Of course not. My research has shown that what is truly important to the gods is neither power nor the body, nor even the soul."
Chen Xuan continued to explain.
"For gods, there is only one thing that is truly important: their divine nature. Just as a servant possesses a spirit core, and once that spirit core is destroyed, the servant will truly die. As long as the divine nature possessed by a god is destroyed, the god will truly die."
"As for how to achieve the act of destroying, stripping away, and destroying divinity, my research has led me to the conclusion that by sublimating the properties that can break any magic, one can create a true technique for killing gods."
As Chen Xuan spoke, she sensed the anti-magic properties contained within the Ring of Ten Thousand Talismans on her hand.
Chapter Sixty: Mom: Impossible, absolutely impossible
"Upgrade the magic special attack trait? Doing so could indeed have the effect of stripping away godhood."
Medea nodded in agreement upon hearing Chen Xuan's proposal.
"However, Master, I regret to inform you that my Noble Phantasm may not be able to meet your expectations. It is only effective against magic and magical creations at most, and completely ineffective against Noble Phantasms. You should know what that means."
Medea sighed and said to Chen Xuan with some regret.
Her Noble Phantasm, the Ring of Ten Thousand Symbols, is a magic-specific attack Noble Phantasm, but it is limited to magic and magic-based creations. It cannot be used on conceptual objects like Noble Phantasms, and it will not work no matter how low the level of the Noble Phantasm it is applied to. This means that even if Chen Xuan upgrades her Noble Phantasm, she may not be able to achieve the effect of stripping away her godhood.
After all, the powers possessed by gods are products mixed with concepts, and the divine nature that bears these powers cannot be a pure thing without concepts.
"Yes, I know, so it needs to be improved a bit before it's upgraded."
As Chen Xuan spoke, she returned the Myriad Talismans Breaking Ring to Medea.
"Complete?"
“Master, my Noble Phantasm is a conceptualized form of my life, which has been transformed into something tangible.”
Medea spoke, and her meaning was clear: her Noble Phantasm had reached its limit and could not be improved further.
"It's alright, I have already completely deconstructed the magic resistance technique in your Noble Phantasm."
Chen Xuan said nonchalantly, while taking out a metal cube from her pocket and then using magic to transform it into a longsword.
"what?"
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if someone can replicate a Noble Phantasm, it is only limited to the physical weapon within the Holy Sword. Conceptual weapons are completely impossible to replicate. Even if a trick like projection is used, it can only be maintained for a few minutes, let alone completely deconstructing a conceptual Noble Phantasm."
Upon hearing Chen Xuan say that she had completed the deconstruction of her Noble Phantasm, Medea looked incredulous. After all, her Noble Phantasm was a conceptual Noble Phantasm, unlike Excalibur in Saber's hand, which was a Noble Phantasm that existed before the Servant's life.
Even if a skilled magician exists who can replicate it, it would only be a one-to-one copy using the same materials; the core essence would be completely impossible to analyze.
Just like Shirou Emiya in the future, although he can use projection magic to project Medea's Noble Phantasm, it does not mean that Shirou Emiya has completely deconstructed Medea's Noble Phantasm. It is merely a copy of Medea's Noble Phantasm from his memories. Even if the copied effect is the same, it is fundamentally completely different.
"That's true, but to me, a Noble Phantasm is just another kind of Mystic Code with limited functions. Although it's a bit more complicated to deconstruct, it's not impossible."
As Chen Xuan finished speaking, the metal longsword in her hand emitted an aura exactly the same as Medea's Noble Phantasm.
"How...how is that possible?"
Medea, somewhat flustered, snatched the metal longsword from Chen Xuan's hand. Feeling the same anti-magic power fluctuations emanating from it as the core of the Ring of Ten Thousand Symbols Breaking, she stared wide-eyed and murmured in disbelief.
As the holder of the Ring of All Symbols, Medea was extremely familiar with it. Even though Medea was very reluctant to admit it, there was no doubt that the longsword in her hand was an item with the exact same core as the Ring of All Symbols.
"The sword you're holding is engraved with the core of your Noble Phantasm, a product of its engraving."
Chen Xuan watched as Medea took out another metal cube and explained.
"Kernel standardization? Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could such a thing be done?"
Medea felt her common sense being completely crushed when she heard Chen Xuan's words, and she screamed in despair.
"Nothing is impossible. Rather, why do you think it's impossible? I feel that deconstructing your Noble Phantasm is much easier than deconstructing the power of a god."
Chen Xuan glanced at Medea, transformed the cube in her hand into a longsword, and at the same time, her magic surged, inscribing several spells into it.
"What are you talking about? This is a concept...??!!!!"
